Isle of Wight Council
- Date 28 February 2022
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, EIR 2.1: Upheld
The complainant requested information from Isle of Wight Council (“the Council”) about expenditure on a replacement ferry, known as “the floating bridge”. The Council disclosed information in response, but the complainant argued that further recorded information was held.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council should have considered the request under the EIR, rather than FOIA. However, he is satisfied that the Council has disclosed all the relevant recorded information which it held. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
